Question

The selling price for a fishing boat is $8,572.39. What percent of the sale price is the markup if the cost of the fishing boat was $6,600? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.)

Answer 1

Hi Alyssa,

Set the equation in this format:

$8,572.39 - $6,600 = $1,972.39 = .29885 x 100% = 29.885% rounded up to 29.89%

$6,600 $6,600
